  One of the most important series in the history of television. A 26-episode World War II documentary from the American perspective Victory at Sea is one of the most important series in the history of television. Made in 1952 the show was a huge success winning many major awards and even spawning albums featuring the orchestral score by Richard Rodgers (South Pacific). Produced with the full cooperation of the US Navy each 26-minute programme consists of black and white wartime film edited to a narration by Leonard Graves. Each episode contains at least one powerful stand-alone sequence in the tradition of Sergei Eisenstein these action-suspense setpieces giving the programmes an urgent surprisingly modern feel. The emphasis throughout is at least as much on entertainment as information the factual content delivered in poetic narration the score transforming the war into a more than usually serious Hollywood adventure. The documentaries are wide-ranging covering parts of the land war and including everything from the Atlantic convoys and Uboat 'Wolfpacks' to war in Alaska the South Atlantic the Far East the Pacific War and the Fall of Japan.

• The Tyrant King - The Complete Series | DVD | (01/07/2013) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Directed by Mike Hodges (Get Carter, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead), written by Ace Of Wands creator Trevor Preston, and starring Philip Madoc, Murray Melvin and juvenile leads from the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, The Tyrant King follows three teenagers as they traverse London searching for an answer to a hidden secret. A quest fraught with drama and danger takes them to some of the capital's most iconic landmarks and beyond (a reflection of the drama's origin as an adventure story published by London Transport), while the action is complemented by an atmospheric contemporary soundtrack featuring, among others, Pink Floyd, The Nice, Cream and The Moody Blues. Shown once in black and white in 1968, this is the first time it will be seen in colour, transferred from original film materials specifically for this release. This six-part mystery thriller was Thames Television's very first production. Shot on location on 16mm film, it was effectively an experiment to assess the feasibility of a small-scale production unit within the company - a subsidiary that would eventually become the legendary Euston Films, responsible for a string of phenomenally successful dramas including The Sweeney and Minder. Music from The Rolling Stones, The Nice, The Moody Blues, Cream and Pink Floyd.

• World in Action - Volume 3 | DVD | (01/07/2013) from £11.60   |  Saving you £13.39 (115.43%)   |  RRP £24.99

  World in Action was, undoubtedly, ITV's flagship current affairs show. Over four decades (from the '60s to the '90s) this multiple BAFTA winner was fearless, hard-hitting and trailblazing, choosing subjects that other programmes would not dare touch, getting into trouble with ITV regulators and - at times - the Government. A cornerstone of the British viewing schedule, the WIA team investigated stories at no small personal risk to themselves and often courted controversy whilst reporting on organisations such as the National Front. This report is included here, along with editions that cover everything from euthanasia to Scientology, from the Miners' Strike to extended coverage of the underhanded practices of the CIA in the 1970s.

• The Shard: The Tallest Tower | DVD | (15/07/2013) from £9.32   |  Saving you £5.67 (60.84%)   |  RRP £14.99

  THE TALLEST TOWER: BUILDING THE SHARD This is the story of The Shard - the colossal glass skyscraper that has transformed Londons skyline... Built against a backdrop of massive public opposition and one of the worst recessions in history, this feat of architectural engineering in the heart of the capital stands at over 1000 feet and is the tallest tower in Western Europe. The Shard is one of Londons most dominant landmarks and this lifts the lid on the challenges and achievements of an enormous engineering project in a densely populated area of London. The demanding construction schedule required builders to add a new floor every seven days, and has used 100,000 tonnes of concrete, 11,468 glass panels, a spire made of 500 tonnes of steel and the UKs tallest crane. Its construction is the dream of property developer Irvine Sellar, a former fashion-store owner who appointed world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, who s previous work includes the world famous Paris Pompidou Centre and the New York Times Building. Filmed over four years, The Tallest Tower: Building the Shard provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access to this architectural journey, and the story of one man s desire to leave a lasting mark on the capital.
